CLI Reference

ev is a CLI-first tool. All commands follow a consistent pattern: ev <command> [target] [flags].

Targeting Apps and Environments

Most commands accept an optional [app:env] argument using colon syntax:

ev push                    # uses ev.yaml defaults
ev push staging            # override environment only
ev push backend:staging    # override app and environment
